Ray Underhill passes away

Thursday August 7, 2008
While the X Games were flooding the newsrooms, a legendary skateboarder passed away. Ray Underhill passed on August 1st, 2008 after fighting a Chordoma brain tumor for the last two years.

Ray was a Powell-Peralta pro skater in the late 1980s. You might have seen him in videos like Future Primitive and Ban This. He moved on from there to manage the Gullwing skate team and to work with Eastern Skateboard Supply. He is survived by his wife and kids, who could use your prayer and support.
